GENTLEMEN: 



THE LAST ROSTER OF THIS SOCIETY, PUBLISHED IN 1901, 
SHOWED A MEMBERSHIP OF FORTY GENTLEMEN. 

ARTHUR BURNETT BENTON AND DAVID RITTENHOUSE 
PORTER CORWIN OF LOS ANGELES, AND CHARLES GARDNER 
LATHROP OF PALO ALTO H.AVE BEEN RECEIVED TO OUR FEL- 
LOWSHIP, AND WE HAVE LOST TWO; ONE BY DEATH AND ONE 
BY RESIGNATION, SHOWING AN INCREASE OF BUT ONE MEM- 
BER DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS. 

SINCE OUR ORGANIZATION FIVE GENTLEMEN HAVE 
DIED, VIZ: 

HARRY WOODVILLE LATHAM, THE FIRST SECRETARY; 

COLONEL WILLIAM ANTHONY ELDERKIN, U. S. A.. THE FIRST 
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR; 

REV. ALFRED LEB BREWER, D. D., A PRESIDENT OF THE 
SAN FRANCISCO CHAPTER; 

CAPTAIN CHARLES LEE COLLINS, U S. A.; 

ELISHA WILLIAMS McKINSTRY, LL.'D.. FIRST PRESIDENT 
OP THE SAN FRANCISCO CHAPTER, AND A MEMBER OF THE 
COUNCIL. 

THE MEMORIALS TO FOUR OF THESE ASSOCIATES, ADOPTED 
BY THIS SOCIETY, HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THE GENERAL 
REGISTER. 

JUDGE McKINSTRY DIED AFTER THE PRINTING OF THE 
REGISTER FOR 1902, BUT THE NEXT REGISTER WILL CONTAIN 
A TESTIMONIAL TO HIS WORTH AND EMINENT ABILITIES AS 
A JURIST. 

IN SEPTEMBER LAST, THE SOCIETY WAS HONORED BY A 



VISIT FROM MR. HOWLAND PELL, OF NEW YORK, VICE GOV- 
ERNOR-GENERAL. DURING HIS ISOJOURN IN LOS ANGELES 
THE SOCIETY ENTERTAINED HIM WITH A RECEPTION AND 
DINNER, AND EXTENDED TO HIM THE COURTESIES OF THE 
OFFICERS AND RESIDENT MEMBERS. 

THE LIMITED REVENUES OF THE SOCIETY HAVE PRE- 
VENTED THE COUNCIL FROM ISSUING ANY PRINTED MATTER 
OP THE CHARACTER WHICH WE RECEIVE FROM THE EASTERN 
SOCIETIES, AS NEARLY ALL OUR INCOME IS USED FOR THE 
NECESSARY CURRENT EXPENSES. 

FOUR YEARS AGO THE COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED 
A RESOLUTION FAVORING THE PUBLICATION OF A HISTORY 
OF THIS SOCIETY, CONTAINING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES AND 
PORTRAITS OF ITS MEMBERS, AND OTHER MATTERS OF GEN- 
ERAL INTEREST. HAD THE SOCIETY CONTINUED TO IN- 
CREASE AS RAPIDLY AS DURING THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF 
ITS EXISTENCE, THE AMOUNTS RECEIVED FOR MEMBERSHIP 
FEES ALONE WOULD HAVE PAID FOR SUCH A WORK. 

IT WILL COST ABOUT $400 TO PRINT THE VOLUME UPON THE 
PLAN SUGGESTED, AND SHOULD IT BE DESIRED BY MEMBERS, 
IT WILL BE DONE. THE EXPENSES, HOWEVER, MUST BE MET 
BY VOLUNTARY SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND IF, IN RESPONSE TO 
THIS STATEMENT, THE AGGREGATE OF THE AMOUNTS PROM- 
ISED BY MEMBERS SHALL REACH SAID SUM, THE WORK WILL 
BE PROSECUTED TO A SPEEDY COMPLETION. 

AT THE EIGHTH GENERAL COURT, CONVENED DECEMBER 
24. 1902, IT WAS DECIDED TO INCORPORATE THE SOCIETY, AND 
THE MATTER WAS PLACED IN CHARGE OF THE CHANCELLOR.
